The 2019 World Jamboree will be co-hosted by the United States, Canada, and Mexico and will be held at the Summit in West Virginia on July 21-August 2 2019. The United States has only hosted one other World Jamboree in 1967 in Idaho.

To honor 100 years of Scouting in the Miami Valley, we are expanding the brick plaza at the Schiewetz Leadership Training Center. Funds raised through the sale of these bricks will help us secure the next century of Scouting in the Miami Valley.

The 100th Camporee Committee is hard at work planning an awesome Scouting program for our centennial camporee coming May 3-5, 2019 at Eastwood MetroPark. This is the capstone event of our 100th celebration and there will be a variety of Scouting experiences for Scouts of all ages. Community partners are getting lined up including Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the Museum of the United States Air Force, the National Parks Service, Five Rivers MetroParks, Dayton History, the Dayton Dragons and many others!!!

Reserve your spot now for this once in a century event to celebrate Leadership, Character, and Service.

Any Scouting Unit that preregisters for the camporee by December 31, 2018 will be entered into a drawing. There will be four drawings (one for each district) and the unit selected will receive the LIMITED-EDITION Miami Valley Council '100 Years of Scouting' Shoulder Patch for every member registered for the event. The production of these patches are limited to this preregistration drawing. Please be sure to register your unit before the end of the year!!!

We Need YOU!!!

We’d like to add you to the Miami Valley Council BSA Team! Many of you reading this notice are already valued volunteers of the Council. Currently we are looking for persons to serve at “MVC Central”, our reception area, answering and directing calls, greeting guests and answering questions. Your help is needed in supporting the mission of Scouting to “prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Law.” A minimum of training is needed, which we will happily provide. Becoming a MVC Central volunteer allows you the opportunity to build new friendships, learn new skills and utilize those you already have.

To learn more about this opportunity, contact Office Manager Daryl Reck at (937) 278-4825 or daryl.reck@scouting.org. We can’t wait to hear from you!
